Changes Proposed for Minority Science Program
WASHINGTON — U.S. Department of Education officials recently proposed some major changes in the federal government's Minority Science and Engineering Improvement Program.
Among the changes suggested is one that would require minority-serving, two-year colleges and universities to establish formal partnerships with four-year institutions as a condition of participation.
The proposal also calls for expanding the definitions of eligibility under the program, currently funded at $7.5 million under Title III of the Higher Education Act, a part of the law that also includes aid to Black colleges.
